Earthy and eclectic, this Branch large cactus necklace perfectly embodies a quiet, everyday elegance. The sterling silver pendant has a thin line of hand-forged texture down its center. It hangs from the base of a delicate sterling silver chain to create a necklace with cool, casual style.

Venice, CA - After a long, left-brained detour following her start as an art major, Michele Scholnick returned to design and found herself captivated by a wax as a sculpture medium. Her line, Branch, which today includes both fine jewelry and bronze decorative objects, is influenced by all things nature, from the pristine to the decayed, and is characterized in some instances by a soft minimalism, and in others, the use of painstakingly applied texture. Michele carves the pieces by hand, mostly in the middle of the night and with lots of help from her two dogs.
